一、阅读理解
A
[认识自我/]Looking into the gym， I faced reality： I was in charge， and nobody would tell me what to do. It was my first practice as a volunteer basketball coach for the local secondary school. However， what if I had too little experience and knowledge to give the athletes？ What if I taught them nothing useful？ I’d felt these doubts about my ability to lead throughout my scientific training.
As a master’s student and later an early PhD student， I carried out the projects my professors gave me — but didn’t explore further on my own. It was more comfortable to let others lead. I told myself once I gained more experience and knowledge， I’d be ready to take charge.
That thought served me well through 2 years of my PhD. After finishing two projects， I felt burned out and needed refreshing. I hoped regaining my love of sports through coaching might help. I decided to push past my discomfort and learn along the way.
That’s how I found myself in that gym. The athletes came in and began shooting around. I collected myself and began practice with much energy and enthusiasm. Despite my fears， everything went smoothly. Afterward， I heard many thought the practice was great， which encouraged me. Maybe I had what it took to lead.
Around the same time， my professor offered me an opportunity to work with a master’s student on a project. I’d have to be a mentor（导师）. Though not sure I could do it， I couldn’t miss the chance.
My professor still supported us， but I had to take charge most of the time. It was hard. But the lessons learned as a basketball coach seemed to help me find my footing（基础） as a scientific leader， too. You don’t become a leader after getting enough experience and knowledge. Leading is a matter of choice. The key is in my willingness to try.
本文为记叙文，主要讲述了作者在篮球场上发觉自己拥有领导才能的经历。作者意识到，拥有了足够的经验和知识并不等于能充当领导角色。充当领导角色是一种选择，关键在于自己是否愿意去尝试。

4. What is the main idea of this text？

[创新意识/]One of the reasons I became a teacher was how much I loved the reading and writing process， and how excited I was to help young children develop as readers and writers. One day， I discovered a work of Vivian Paley， who developed a storytelling curriculum（课程） for young children， which involves writing down the contents of students’ drawings and having their classmates act out these stories. I was immediately drawn to Paley’s focus on drama.
One morning， as my students gathered in our classroom for our writing lesson， I told them that they could draw anything they’d like， imaginary or real. They discussed with one another what they liked to draw and some shared their ideas out loud， which helped inspire those who weren’t ready with their own ideas. For the next half hour or so， I observed that even my most hesitant and unwilling students were drawing with a sense of concentration and purpose.
Later， we sat in a circle and I explained that we would act out some of their stories. The writer would choose classmates to be the characters in the story， and I would tell the story. Then a student stood up to announce which character she’d need. I watched as one student played a rabbit， another played a fairy， and another played a rainbow cloud. When the play was over， the actors and the "director" bowed， and the class clapped for them. The next "director" jumped to her feet， shouting， "My story is the next！"
After I taught in this way， my students began to write down their own stories， though I always provided aid in the writing process when they needed. The goal of these lessons is not to turn my students into fluent writers in kindergarten， but to provide them with the chance to become writers， to see themselves as storytellers， and to experience the magical feeling when their ideas come to life.
本文是记叙文。作者受到Vivian Paley的课程模式的启发，决定采取特殊的课堂形式，鼓励学生画出自己创作的故事并将它们演出来，从而让学生感受创作的乐趣。
【词语积累】 act out将……表演出来 jump to one’s feet 跳起来
1. What does Paley’s curriculum mainly ask students to do？
A. Tell stories. B. Draw pictures.
C. Create plays. D. Practise acting.
解析 C 细节理解题。由第一段中的"a storytelling curriculum（课程） for young children， which involves writing down the contents of students’ drawings and having their classmates act out these stories"可知，Paley的课程要求学生把画中的内容写出来，然后让学生根据写出来的故事进行表演，故本题选C。
2. What encouraged the inactive students to start to draw？
A. Other students’ ideas.
B. The author’s instruction.
C. The inspiration from books.
D. Their experience of painting.
解析 A 细节理解题。由第二段中的"They discussed with one another what they liked to draw... my most hesitant and unwilling students were drawing with a sense of concentration and purpose"可知，一些学生的讨论和分享给那些还没想好画什么的学生提供了灵感，后来，即使那些最犹豫、最不情愿的学生也开始画画了，故本题选A。
3. How did the students eventually feel in that morning’s class？
A. Confused. B. Concerned.
C. Relaxed. D.Interested.
解析 D 推理判断题。由第二段中的"even my most hesitant and unwilling students were drawing with a sense of concentration and purpose"和第三段中的"When the play was over... The next ‘director’ jumped to her feet， shouting，‘My story is the next！’"可知，学生们应是对作者的课堂很感兴趣，故本题选D。
4. Why did the author plan such special lessons？
A. To help students write more fluently.
B. To get students more drawing inspiration.
C. To help students set the goal of becoming writers.
D. To make students know the joy of composition.
解析 D 推理判断题。由第三段的描述以及最后一段中的"to provide them with the chance to become writers... experience the magical feeling when their ideas come to life"可知，作者的课堂是为了让学生了解创作的乐趣，故本题选D。
二、七选五
[积极生活/2024广东七校联考]HowtoSetGoals
Whether you have small dreams or high expectations， setting goals allows you to plan how you want to move through life. 1
Find out your life goals. Ask yourself some important questions about what you want for your life. What do you want to achieve today， in a year， and in your lifetime？ The answers can be as general as "I want to be happy" or "I want to help people". 2
Set specific（具体的） goals. Be specific and realistic about what it is that you want to achieve. Research shows that setting a specific goal makes you more likely to achieve it. 3 For example， "Be healthier" is too big and vague to be a helpful goal. "I want to eat more vegetables， and I want to run a marathon" is better.
Write down your goals. 4 Keep your list in a place where you can get informed frequently. This will help keep you motivated.
5 You may find yourself set in your ways concerning broad life goals， but take the time to reevaluate your smaller goals. Are you accomplishing them according to your timeline？Are they still necessary to keep you on track towards your larger life goals？ Allow yourself the flexibility（灵活性） to make some small changes to your goals.
A. Adjust your goals.
B. Track and measure your progress.
C. Having a plan will help push you ahead.
D. Writing them down tends to make them a little more real.
E. Here are some important ideas that you may find helpful.
F. Consider what you hope to achieve in 10， 15 or 20 years.
G. Remember that you may need to break large goals into smaller goals.
本文为说明文，主要介绍了如何设定目标。
1.E 上文中的"setting goals allows you to plan how you want to move through life"指出了设定目标的好处，下文具体介绍了设定目标的方法，故E项放在此处能起到承上启下的作用。
2.F F项与段落主旨句"Find out your life goals"和上文中的"What do you want to achieve today， in a year， and in your lifetime？"相吻合。
3.G 上文中的"Research shows that setting a specific goal makes you more likely to achieve it"和下文所举的例子与G项相对应。
4.D 段落主旨句"Write down your goals"及下文中的"Keep your list in a place where you can get informed frequently"与D项相吻合。
5.A 由"You may find yourself set in your ways concerning broad life goals， but take the time to reevaluate your smaller goals"和"Allow yourself the flexibility（灵活性） to make some small changes to your goals"可知，最后一段围绕调整目标展开，A项与此相符，适合做本段的主旨句。
